A Day Well Done

Ok its four o’clock My girl gets off at six For dinner I’m wonderin What I’m gonna fix So I get online To look up recipes When she comes in I want it to look like a dream I put a cloth on the table And two gold plates Two candles in the middle To brighten up her face Roses On the floor To show her there’s no one I love more Now its five thirty And the food is almost done Thinkin to myself This is really fun Everything taste good I cooked it to the T All by myself That I can’t believe I hear her pull up Keys jiggle outside I run out the kitchen And moved by the candle light When she comes in Her eyes moved to my position She tried to speak I stopped her and said listen You’re my wife my love For that you deserve so much more But today I thought I would surprise you when you came in the door So I pulled out her seat When she sat I uncovered the plate And the smell in the air Was how the food tasted Cordon bleu with a hit of lemon And salad on the side I looked closely to her face And a tear fell out her eye So everything turns out good And a smile is on my face If I can say so myself What a wonderful day
